After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(地道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.On the fifth day a tragedy(悲剧) happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over. All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner the farm. My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness. They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork. Working together, the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves. I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity(逆境) is a natural part of life, and must be accepted. Unlike the ants, we cannot give up when we are sad. We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone, we must build another.Giving up, I say, is not a good choice.（1）What did the writers family do for him when he was seven?A . They built a farm of ants.B .

One kind of tears(眼泪)is for the eye， the other is for the heart. They both work as cleaners. If something else like dust(灰尘)gets into your eye， tears also come into the eye to clean it out.

If tears dont help clean out these poisonous chemicals， they will do harm to(伤害)the heart.In the United States men have heart problems more often than women do. Doctors say heart problems have something to do with the pressures(压力)of living and working now. Perhaps men have more of these illnesses because they do not cry enough.
